"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The late Terence Reese, perhaps the greatest bridge writer of all time, introduced the 'over-the-shoulder' style of bridge writing in his classic book Play These Hands With Me. Now in a wry homage to the master, Mark Horton leads the reader through a plausibly logical line of play on each instructive deal--but it is a line of play that ends in failure. In each post-mortem, the 'expert' realizes how he could have improved on his play and how he (usually) could have made his contract. The deals are all from top-class events, which prove to be remarkably fertile sources of such material. Read on for a book filled with subtle humor and great bridge."--Back cover.
Julian Pottage worked on a number of books with the late Terence Reese, and this one pays homage to a man who was arguably the best bridge writer of his time. One of Reese's classics, Play these hands with me, pioneered the 'over-the-shoulder' style of bridge writing. What that book did for declarer play, the present one does for defense: readers can follow the thinking of an expert player, stopping at critical points in the deal to make their own decisions about how to continue. Julian Pottage (Wales) is best known as a bridge problem constructor, and his many awards include IBPA Book of the Year. His most recent book for MPP was Defend or Declare?
